Comments:

With conditions so bad on Saturday I was ready to retire from contesting. I
knew we were in trouble when I flipped the second rig to 15 meters around
sunrise and didn't hear very much. I got up after sunrise on Sunday and was
very happy to hear all of the huge signals. Sunday was the most fun I've
ever
had in CQWW. My average rate was above 60 for the day and I had three hours
near 90 during the morning. I used both radios almost all day on Sunday. It
wore me out, but it sure helped a lot and resulted in my best score ever in
this contest. I worked a lot of the WWYC gang...
